Using the appliance

Your appliance comes with 2 blades. Use one blade for your face only and the other blade for your body.

Shaving tips and tricks

Make sure that the blade is in full contact with the skin by placing it flat on the skin.
For the best result, move the appliance against the grain.
Make long strokes while pressing lightly.

Note: Make sure you hold the surface of the blade flat against your skin.
Switch off and clean the appliance after every use (see ‘Cleaning and maintenance’).

Edging

You can also use both edges of the blade to create sharp lines and perfect edges. Hold the appliance in such a way that the blade is perpendicular to the skin and one of its edges touches the skin. This allows more precise detailing of sideburns and the area around the mouth and nose.

Switch on the appliance.
Place the edge of the blade perpendicular onto the skin.
- Make straight strokes while applying gentle pressure.
Switch off and clean the appliance after every use (see ‘Cleaning and maintenance’).

Trimming

Trimming tips

Always trim in the direction of the teeth of the precision trimming comb making sure the flat part of the comb is in full contact with the skin for an even trimming result.
Since hair grows in different directions, you need to hold the appliance in different positions as well. However, always make sure that you move the appliance upwards against the grain.
Trimming is easier when the skin and hair are dry.

Trimming with comb

The precision trimming comb allows you to trim hair to different lengths. Start at the highest setting to acquire practice with this appliance. The settings on the wheel correspond to the hair lengths in millimeter .

Place the front part of the comb onto the blade and push the projection at the back of the comb into the appliance (‘click’).

Body

For hygienic reasons, only use the body blade for trimming and shaving your body.
For body trimming and shaving, make sure hair is clean and dry as wet hair tends to stick to the body and, when shaving sensitive areas, always use the skin guard.
Since all hairs do not grow in the same direction, you may want to try different trimming positions (i.e. upwards, downwards, or across). Practice is best for optimum results.
For the best result, move the appliance against the grain.
Make long strokes while pressing lightly.
Use the appliance dry or wet with gel or foam, even in the shower.

Replacement

Usage indicator

For optimal cutting and gliding performance, we advise you to replace the blade every 4 months, when it no longer provides the shaving or trimming results you expect or when the usage indicator appears.
The blade is equipped with a usage indicator which gradually turns green. When the green bar is highly visible, it is recommended to replace your blade. Always replace the blade with an original Philips blade.
Depending on your usage behavior, the exact lifetime of the blade could be longer or shorter.
Similar to a manual blade, the blade becomes blunt over time, which results in increased hair pulling and reduced cutting performance.

Hold the new blade on its sides and press it onto the handle (‘click’)
